Description

From PETEM. HEMDE
QUANTITY REQUIRED
For forming a new lawn a 10-pound
package is sufficient to go over an
area of 300 square feet, or 1000 to
1500 pounds per acre, or a smaller
quantity for renovating an old lawn.
Apply broadcast with machine or by
hand as evenly as possible on a quiet
day and preferably just before rain.
If applied during the summer use
half of the quantity and during rainy
weather. Water in with a hose thor-
oughly.
For New acd Old Lawns, Tennis Courts, Putting Greens, Etc.
QUICKLY INDUCES A LUXURIANT RICH GREEN GROWTH.
The constant mowing of grass, and removal of clippings also removes a
proportion of digested plant food. Therefore if the luxuriance of a lawn
is to be maintained, it must be top dressed, at leased once a year, with
suitable fertilizer. The Henderson Lawn Enricher is a clean and odor-
less lawn dressing which never fails in inducing a rapid and rich green
growth. It should be sown broadcast in the spring or fall, and a remarkable
improvement will soon be observed. If applied during the summer use half of
the quantity and during rainy weather or water in thoroughly with a hose. The
use of "Henderson Lawn Enricher" entirely does away with the old practice
of top-dressing lawns with stable manure, so objectionable on account of un-
sightliness, disagreeable odors, so often full of weed seeds.
" I am very much pleased with the results of your lawn Enricher. It has proven
very beneficial indeed on our Putting Greens here."
A. J. KNAPP care of J. D. ROCKEFELLER, Forest Hill, Cleveland, Ohio.
" After years of trial, I find for quick and permanent results, the 'Henderson'
Lawn Enricher stands pre-eminent."
ROBERT CAMPBELL, Louisville Ky., Superintendent Cave Hill Cemetery Co.

HENDERSON'S WORM KILLING , GRASS FOOD.
Henderson's Worm-Killing Grass Food Feeds the Grass and Eliminates the
Worms.
Henderson's Worm-Killing Grass Food, not only stimulates the grass on
lawns, putting greens, tennis courts, croquet grounds, etc., into rich green growth
but it quickly eliminates the earth or angle worms, that burrow in the turf in
almost unbelievable quantities causing the soil to become sticky, sour and
loosening it and the roots so that hot sun and dry weather cause the grass to
turn yellow and die out in spots. More lawn troubles are traceable to earth
worms than most people realize and we advise all whose grass is not as good as it
should be, to apply Henderson's Worm-Killing Grass Food, at the rate of i pound
to a square yard during rainy weather or else water in thoroughly from a hose.
The worms will then almost immediately come to the surface and die. For
putting greens it is invaluable keeping them free from worm casts, level and true
without the trouble and expense of daily brushing and rolling. It is used by
many Golf and Country Clubs and on many private grounds in the U. S. and
all users are gratified with the results. Henderson's Worm-Killing Grass Food
is a non-poisonous powder not injurious to animal or bird life. Its fertilizing
properties while combined into a well balanced grass food — are not so strong
but that it can safely be applied on grass according to directions at any season
of the year.

" Our experience with Your Worm Killer has been very successful. It not
only kills the worms, but saves the expense of 'brushing' the greens. We recom
mend it very heartily."
F. H. HOYTE, (Chairman Green Com.) Allslon Golf Club, Allston, Mass.

iFE^WHR^
Destroys Weeds, Moss, Grass, etc. in Garden, Walks and Carriage Drives.
It completely destroys all weeds, wherever applied, and by its effect on the
ground prevents the growth of fresh ones for a year afterwards, thus saving an
immense amount of labor in hoeing, etc. For brick walks it is a boon. Its ap-
plication is easy, being in a liquid form and only requiring to be mixed with
water and applied with a watering can or sprinkling cart. If the ground is
very dry it should first be sprinkled with clear water, so the Weed Destroyer
will not soak away too quickly. Where large weeds and docks are to be des-
troyed it is best to mow or chop off the tops first. Full directions for use with
each package. (Not mailable.)

" Your 'Weed Destroyer' is a boon to us here with our numerous gardens walks
and carriage drives to be kept clean and free of weeds. It used to be hoe, hoe, hoe,
from morning till night, all summer long, but the last two seasons by sprinkling
the walks thoroughly in the spring with your 'Weed Destroyer' diluted with water,
it has kept the weeds and moss away and the walks in apple pie order.
